​Norway - A country of fjor​​ds

The incredible fjords of Norway were carved out by ice, stone and rock during successive ice ages, and are often extremely​ deep.

Norway’s deepest fjord, Sognefjord, goes to the impressive depth of 1,308 metres below sea level. The depth of the Norwegian fjords permit navigation by large ships, allowing you to experience the fjord’s beauty up close. UNESCO has listed the fjords of Norway on its prestigious World Heritage List.​

If you go during summer, you will likely experience the Midnight Sun, as the sun never sets in the summer season.
